The people
It is a wonderful place where I made many friends
The Y is open to all of us as a family. If my kids are there practicing for a sport, we can stay and use our memebership to excercise. If we are there excercising, the kids can use the Kid Zone, play basketball, swim, or just hang out.
The hot tub and pool
Everyone is so friendly and they offer so many different experiences. The pool area is amazing!
Clean environment. Friendly workers at all levels. It’s just a fun place.
I enjoy everything that comes with my YMCA membership. Life is Good
A friendly and clean place to walk or exercise.
How about adjusting the water fountains up stairs so they have cold water in stead of room temp

Everything I could possibly want for exercise is available at the Dow Bay Area YMCA.

Everything
Love the track
It's clean, it's always funciontal in every area, the staff is friendly and knows all of the answers, the Y has nearly every desireable athletic activity available within reason
I love that it’s always clean and never crowded. The staff are friendly and treat everyone with kindness and respect. What really stands out is how the Y gives back — feeding kids year-round and creating a place that feels safe and welcoming for everyone. It’s a genuine community, not just a gym.
No judgment. People are focused on their own workouts and such. Staff is so polite, the place is clean.
Facility is super clean, modern and staff is very helpful!
Water exercise classes
There are many things to do there, for all ages.
The Y has been a daily part of my life for many years - not only does the facility help enable me to keep my body healthy, it also affords me a social gathering space that helps me remain engaged with the community.

The instructors are awesome and are also very knowledgeable. The workers are friendly and willing to help with questions at any time making for a very friendly environment.
